Mohamed Kudus red card

Mohammed Kudus, the star of West Ham United, was sent off for a moment of insanity during his team's match against Tottenham. After tensions erupted during the London derby, the winger hit two players in the face. VAR stepped in and asked referee Andrew Madley to review the incident after Madley first issued a yellow card.

Kudus tried to break across the right wing with his team behind 4-1, but Spurs defender Micky van de Ven easily dispossessed him. Kudus then pulled down the center-back while attempting to regain possession of the ball, but he kept kicking out towards the Dutch international once he had struck the deck.

The first half was quite entertaining and could have ended with both teams scoring a lot of goals. Mohammed Kudus put West Ham ahead after forcing a fantastic save from Guglielmo Vicario. Spurs advanced thanks to the incredible Dejan Kulusevski, who eventually equalized before halftime.

Son flicked a tasty out-of-the-boot ball to the nearby underlapping Udogie when he was on the touchline. On the outside of the field, he spun around and returned the ball to the charging Yves Bissouma outside Wan-Bissaka, close to the byline. Areola was expecting Bissouma to go towards goal, but he misjudged his shot and it bobbled towards the net.

Jean-Clair Todibo's unfortunate own goal put Tottenham Hotspur up by two goals. After collecting the ball in the center circle, Son continued to sprint after attempting another beautiful outside-of-the-foot pass to Kulusevski. Son had a clear opportunity as Kulusevski cut inside along the area's edge and then reversed a pass. His shot dribbled pathetically into the net after Areola was only able to push it against Todibo.

Heung-Min Son made it 4-1 and was really outstanding since halftime. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was caught miles upfield during the break. Son rushed at Jean Clair-Todibo, who was backpedaling, put him off balance with a few stepovers, moved the ball to his left foot, and hammered it past Alphonso Areola towards the near post.
